Increase Game Amounts for Freemiums

Concise description:
  • Increase playable games for Freemiums to 10

Specifics/Details:
  • Freemiums can play 10 games at a time instead of 4

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
  • It will allow for more participation from the freemium population. By enlarging the "sample size" for freemiums will put them in more games to take turns. More turns means more time on the site. Hopefully more time on the site will translate into increased premium memberships.

I know Owen, what ever it is you are about to post, I know.....

You too Wing....

At least I'm trying ;)

In my mind I would restrict more settings to premium only, but increase game load?
I don't know...I haven't thought it all through but that's my immediate reaction / thought

Let's try this again.

Do you think this would help bridge the gap from freemium to premium? Is it worth a trial period to test it out?

I think it would bring some new premium, my question is would it bring more than we'd lose by the cusp players. I don't have that info or an educated guess on it, so it's mostly speculation.

This suggestion did get me thinking about a few other ideas, I just don't have the time or how to word them.

That would probably be the determining factor of it too. I'd like to get Don's outlook on it. He usually has good insight to things.

Once you get time, I'd like to hear about those ideas.

jgordon did have some good feedback that I noticed at the end there. wanted to move it here. Thanks for the apology jg!

With that said to the OP my apologies

And yes i think that raising the games played to 10 is a good idea, I have many games going at once sometimes 20+ and their are days I don't take a turn because the number of players and mass turn skipping by multiple players in a game, so yes raising the games can have a better impact on free players to be more involved and not go to other sites to play

There is already a system in place that allows freemiums to go over the 4 game limit for certain tournaments.
